https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/07/04/rapid-fire-questions-about-destiny-2-forsaken

As Destiny 2's first big expansion, there are lot of questions about what Forsaken will do to appease fans. We asked several of the more pressing ones, as well as several that were... less pressing. But Forsaken leads Steve Cotton and Scott Taylor were such good sports they actually managed to break the patented Rapid-Fire format, and you can see it fall apart before your very eyes as we ask them about whether Light or Power is stronger, how milestones might be changing, the length of Forsaken's campaign, and more. We also suggested several gun names for their evaluation. Will any of them make it into the final game? Probably not.

As usual there are a lot of silly questions, but it's fun to watch.

Do people really still care this much about Destiny 2 to have it be the cover story!? Where's our Cyberpunk 2077 cover page and story!?

Destiny is so played out in my eyes, I'm over it. Was really hoping for a big story revamp but they disappointed me greatly.

Is this new expansion still set on one of the same planets that we've been playing on since 2014?

Weird... I'm more interested in Destiny 2 than a game still 4-5 years away

I think I came out of that more informed.

All I know is, I now want a Fallen pizza baron and a gun named "Cyberpunk 2077 is inside of this gun"

Didn't mean to offend all the Destiny players, "my bad." I did enjoy the first game, just wanted more from a numbered sequel. Amazing gunplay sub-par story and not a fan of the level design, but that's just me.

They're easily offended, don't let it bother you. The first game got to a very good place, which is why 2 can be seen as nothing more than a complete failure to deliver, which to their credit even Bungie acknowledges.

That answer to that Guided games question is peak Bungie - not answering the actual question.

This franchise is 4 years old now and don't know why I expected more matchmaking options and better in game tools to group up and play with other people.

What angers me with Bungie is they acted like they learned and cared after the mishaps from Destiny 1, but then went ahead and basically did the same bullshit with Destiny 2. I expect more from the studio that made my favorite Halo games.

Never forget that actions speak louder than words. That is especially true for Bungie and their Bungo lingo.

I do have high hopes however, we'll see.

This is key,

Yes, it all looks great on paper an we know the game will play great.

But they need to execute in a big way and ensure a content pipeline (which I must say has greatly improved since the D1)

Destiny players don't care about story, they care about guns and armor man. Game is just not for you.

Some of them have moved on. Many are still there. Grow the fuck up.
What the hell kind of reply is this.

Street fighter and Destiny have the worst fucking gaming side threads. The fans are so overly defensive.

It does seem crazy for all the shit that happened with Destiny 1, all the lessons learned, all the mistaked and all the improvements to the terrible Vanilla game. Yet they seemingly do the same thing with 2.

Well I think there's two things we can always take from destiny thread, 1. you are delusional 2. the same people drive by posting shitting on destiny.

It's a justified reply when lots of people post driveby bullshit.

The most fervent fan community does, and, anecdotally, my entire destiny group seems to.

I dont have a highbar for Destiny story though. It needs to be functional and not actively annoy me. I think that's probably how a fair amount of people feel?

Is there going to be a bundle with the game and all expansions up to Forsaken, like there was with Destiny 1 and The Taken King?

It's going to be really off-putting to newcomers if they have to buy the game, the first season pass, Forsaken and then a 2nd season pass!

It's crazy right now, checked Battle.net and the game + first pass bundle is €59.99 and then Forsaken Annual Pass bundle for €69.99 on top of that.

Sorry but this is a ridiculous statement to make in this case. If someone comes in and does a drive-by shit-post in a thread about a silly interview then anyone who wants to actually discuss the game and/or interview is perfectly within their rights to be defensive. It's not like there was an intelligent discussion about the flaws of destiny and the fans aren't able to accept any criticism. Maybe if people stop trolling these gaming side threads then they will be higher quality.

How many new enemies types will we see? Will it be more than 0?
Depends on if your definition includes reskinned enemies or not.

The last thread had more drive by posts whining about people doing drive by posts then actual people attacking the game with drive by posts.

"Will you increase fireteam sizes to the max amount for all activities?"

"We believe the fireteam sizes we have now are the best sizes"

Well once again youre wrong bungie.

"did you name your website destiny the game so as not to confuse it with destiny the concept?" Lmao dead.

Yeah, the biggest hindrance to Destiny being great is Bungie. Good job creating a new mode that requires more players than you can fit into a fireteam. And then when people call them out on their stupid design decisions, they double down on the whole "We're right, you're wrong, fuck off". Basically the same approach they've taken from the start when it comes to LFG.

"I don't care about it so why do others?"

Quick Google search would show tons of people still play destiny 2 and it's major expansion releases in 3 months. You want them to put a game that's possibly 3 years out on the cover? That's pointless.

Just ignore the drive by posts and let the mods take care of it then? I don't know about most people or even the trolls.

I do know about Bungie though. Used to read every Halo weekly update for years. Loved the studio and their design ethos. Picked up Destiny 1 and It was a pretty big let down. A lot of people see Destiny 2 as having a lot of the same mistakes.

What makes the drive by troll posts and not just people who were disappointed? Ypu love the game? Cool man. Throwing a hissy when people don't agree or shower any mention of the game with love and praise is why the gaming side threads always go the way they go.

Something something don't feed the trolls.

A cover story about a game that'll come out after 2020 is not really a good idea

Because people don't know what the hell they are talking about. For example "picked up destiny 1 and it was a pretty big let down"

With out context I'm just going to assume you played the first month and never looked back.

Meanwhile the people that played all 3 years of D1 saw it get better.

D2 catered to casuals.....it got them sales but it burned the people that kept them afloat. Year 2 is going back to giving a fuck about us again.
